Verse 1:
D A D Bm F#m G D
And you were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery
G F#m
Well the good things are never free
Em F#m G F#m Bm A A
Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?
Verse 2:
D A D Bm F#m G D
And I was rushing round in circles for a reason to believe
G F#m
Wipe the slime from off your sleeve
Em F#m G F#m Bm A A
You could follow me for weeks and I'm not going anywhere
Break 1:
Em B A
Sometimes it's hard to love someone
Em B A
Until the day that they are gone
Verse 3:
D A D Bm F#m G D
And I just had a dream the other night I was married to the Queen
G F#m Bm A
And Madonna lived next door, I think she took a shine to me
G F#m Em F#m
And the kids were all grown up, but I had to turn her down
G F#m Bm A
Cause I was still in love with you
Chorus:
G F#m D5 A5/riff
I'm turning Madonna down
G F#m Bm A/riff
I'm calling it my best move
G F#m D5 A5/riff A
I'll get a ticket to what you need

I remember doing nothing on the night sinatra died

Em F#m G F#m Bm A
I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone
Chorus:
G F#m D5 A5/riff
And that was a lot of nights
G F#m Bm A/riff
And that was a lot of lads
G F#m D5 A5/riff
Who lost a ticket to what they need
Verse 5:
D A D Bm F#m G D
And I was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life,
G F#m
Always hoped you'd be my wife,
Bm A Em F#m
But I never found the time for the question to arrive,
G F#m Bm(V) A
I just disguised it in a song
Verse 6:
D A D Bm F#m
And songs are never quite the answer
G D G F#m
Just a soundtrack to a life, that is over all too soon
Em F#m
Helps to turn the days to night
G F#m Bm A
While I was wrong and you were right
Chorus:
G F#m D5 A5/riff
And this was a lesson learned,
G F#m Bm A/riff
I'm happy to be your fool,
G F#m D5 A5/riff
And get you tickets to what you need
Verse 7: (Whistled)
D A D Bm F#m G D G F#m Em F#m
G F#m Bm A
Chorus:
G F#m D5 A5/riff
I'm turning the lights down low
G F#m Bm A/riff
I'm ready to make my move
G F#m D5 A5 D
I'll get you tickets to what you neeeee-eeeed
